I haven't really posted on Digital Point much but I had to share my link building
tips with you all because I believe that it's really brought me some major
success.
First, for the Noobs
Link building is not always fun.
Don't expect to get 10,000 links to your site in a day.
Do expect to work hours and hours on end. :)
Don't expect people to link to cruddy content. ;)
Link Building Tips that will "Rock your Socks"... I guess lol
So here is the deal, I use a few different strategies when it comes to building
links to my site successfully and I go for the quality over quantity type
of links.
Writing and Submitting Ezines. (see my page (http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Taylor_Thompson))
Squidoo and Hubpages
Commenting on DoFollow Blogs
Collaborating (http://www.videobloggingtips.com/2008/11/serious-bloggers-collaborate-with-me.html) - Link Exchanges
Guest Posts
Now, you're probably thinking, "Great, he told us what he does, but for
goodness sakes, he needs to show us how to do it..."
Link Building Tips that will "Rock your Socks"... Part II
Writing and Submitting Ezines - This is as important as writing articles for your
own site. No joke here.
Look at the views I have received from Ezine.
93 clicks to my sites from 6 articles. Daaannng....

So obviously Ezines are the bomb. Seriously. Use them to your advantage
because they not only bring you traffic, they also usually become pretty
powerful backlinks. Quick Tip: If you have a new site do a 1:1 ratio sort of
thing. For every post you put on your blog, reword it and put it on Ezine.
Squidoo and Hubpages - Now, I am going to be
honest: I am not completely familiar with Hubpages however, I am with
Squidoo.
Here's the deal. Squidoo is another awesome source of traffic, but
it's not really as much of an article as it is a Resource - or even almost a
book. Squidoo's are nice and are great for links, but have to be updated over
time. Kind of like a blog. The best Squidoo pages are usually LONG. Again,
a Squidoo is not something you can write in a night unless you're using
Dragon Natural Speaking 10 (http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/). ;)
Commenting on Dofollow Blogs (Noobs)
There is a difference between just blog commenting and commenting on a
blog which will actually help you rank higher in the search engines.
Commenting on blogs that hand out nofollow links will be ignored by the
search engines. They won't help you rank higher.
However, commenting on dofollow blogs will be loved by the search
engines and raise your rankings.
Commenting on Dofollow Blogs (EVERYONE)
How in the heck do I go about finding dofollow blogs?
You can use
Fast Blog Finder (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEWNpzYEE_U)
or you can do the trick below..
Go to Yahoo Site Explorer (https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/)
Type in a URL of a semi-popular website
When the list of results appear, look for deep pages or www.blank.com/deeppage
Deep pages that link out to a site have a chance of coming from the comment section and have a chance of being dofollow.
Collaborating, Link Exchanges, Guest Posts -
You all have probably heard this one before and they're all great ideas
to share readers and gain popularity, respect, and higher rankings in the
search engines. I explain the importance of collaborating in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOLG5MzwtFg).
Final Tip: Don't do it all in a day.
Write one Ezine a day.
Do a guest post once or twice a month.
Comment on 10 - 20 dofollow blogs a day.
Keep writing those Hubpages and Squidoos.
Finally, I have to say this. Professional Bloggers are always saying that
content is king. Sure, that's true. But it's not king if nobody is viewing it.
That's why you must promote yourself and build links (especially early on,)
if you want to become a successful blogger.
Other tips to add to this?
I know there are more tips out there. This is just my strategy.
What do you think of my strategy?
Do you have any extra tips or ideas to add?
